If Serena Williams needed a GLP1, what hope do I have?

Serena Williams is taking medication to lose weight because her husband invested in the company. She’s a paid spokesperson.

I don't know anyone who maintains a normal weight without a GLP.

That’s insane. Every single adult in my family is a normal weight. About half my neighbors are too — though I have no idea if they take medication or not. Almost all my friends are a normal weight. It’s really not hard.

So by your own account 50% of your neighbors are overweight and at least some portion of those who are not are probably taking medication…doesn’t seem like a ringing endorsement for it being easy

I just saw that Serena Williams went on a GLP1 because she wasn’t losing weight. I assume she has the best workouts and nutritionists available. If she couldn’t do it, what hope do us normies have? Should I ask my doctor for it? (I think she went on Ro).

Looks like the advertisement campaign is working!

She gave up on trying to lose the baby weight when her 2nd baby was 6 months old. That said she has a history of cardiovascular complications so it makes sense that she would use these meds.

She’s getting paid to do this. I would not put this in your body if it wasn’t a last resort. Your body has changed and accept it with your ten pounds.

For reference, I am 5’2 and over 200lbs. I have been trying for years with diet, exercise and nutrition counseling before I recently started. I started for health reasons because I started having high blood pressure and sleep apnea. I still worry about long term effects of this but long terms effects of being morbidly obese were bad too. You don’t need it.

I’m not on a glp-1 but this is so tone deaf. I’m a “normal weight” (5’4”, 130 lbs, work out 5-6 days/week and walk 30 min/day). BUT I need to eat a very restricted diet to stay at this weight. I find it a daily challenge and would say that food brings me little pleasure because I never eat what I want.

I was thin (but always athletic) until age 40 or so, this metabolism change happened to me post having kids. It really opened my eyes to how naive I had been before that about it being “easy” to maintain my weight.

Serena Williams did not "need" a GLP1, OP. She chose money over her own health by taking one. Hope it works out for her in the long run.

Please be media literate. Serena has a financial stake in GLP1. You cannot draw any conclusions about your health from an advertisement.

I would also remind yourself that Serena Williams is in the public eye at a very high level, and that she is surrounded by celebrities and the very wealthy. There's way more pressure on her to be thin. She probably gets feedback from stylists, designers, editors, and media people about her size and shape. Whereas in your life, I bet you are the only person who gives a rat's ass about those 10-15 lbs.

The only thing that gives curves is a small waist which most everyone loses after childbirth or menopause. It’s not a body type issue if it hits everyone the same.

Your borderline eating disorder does not mean everyone needs a GLP-1. As women she is is very natural to add some weight and it is not unhealthy. Research shows that a BMI just around the overweight zone (26-27) has the most longevity. If you believe that at 50 you have to have the same body as at 25 - that is the problem. That’s going to be hard to do a cause some mental distress.

Serena however may have actually medically needed the GLP-1 because of her cardiovascular history.

+1. I’m a little concerned that we are now going to expect women to be tiny and frail into old age …

Sure. The greatest female tennis player of all time "needed" the GLP1 because of a cardiovascular history. That is an insane assumption.

You have hope. Any reason you have not gotten some yet?

So you won the genetic lottery in terms of metabolism and have self segregated towards others who are either similarly naturally thin or can afford intervention.

Sadly you seem to lack the mental capacity to realize that your personal experiences aren’t necessarily reflective others’ realities….it seems we all have our shortcomings.

Not PP, but if you’re the poster above asserting that you don’t know *anyone* who can maintain a normal weight without a GLP, you’re in no position to question anyone’s mental capacity.

I maintain normal weight as a 50 something woman. No GLP1 no weird diets no extreme exercise. It can be done but most people don't have the patience or make the time.

Why? She has had multiple life threatening blood clots.
